Hope Keeps Rising

The Easter story is a powerful metaphor: the spirit of change cannot be suppressed forever. Hope cannot be killed on the cross. It keeps rising: rising like weeds through a sidewalk, like the green shoots of spring. Join people of all ages to feel the resilient power of hope.

Springtime Spirituality

Through the cold of winter, we long for spring. Yet we forget how slowly spring unfolds, and how many setbacks there are along the way. Join us on the eve of the Vernal Equinox to reflect on the spiritual lessons Nature has in store.

Well-Behaved Women Rarely Make History

Drawing our title from a popular bumper sticker, we reflect on the art of creating positive change: in our lives and in the world.  When is it better to speak our minds, even if it gets us in trouble? When is it better to keep quiet and play along?

Hope for the Hopeless

Hope, wrote Vaclav Havel, is “a state of mind, not of the world…. It is a dimension of the soul, and it’s not essentially dependent on some particular observation of the world or estimate of the situation…. It is an orientation of the spirit, and orientation of the heart.”

“Joy and Woe are Woven Fine”

Even in the hardest times, we can find glimmers of hope, moments of joy. With word and music and meditation, we celebrate the spirit of resilience and healing.

Standing on the Side of LOVE

We conclude our journey of Thirty Days of Love with a celebration of “courageous love” within our community and beyond.

Primary Allegiances

In this season of presidential primaries and partisan politics, we pause to reflect on the enduring values we hold true. The first: worthiness of all.

Black History, Black Lives

With voices from Unitarian Universalism’s past and present, we lift up stories of struggle, courage, redemption, and hope: stories that challenge us to create community “where all souls are welcome as blessings, and the human family lives whole and reconciled.”
